A Job Fair will be held next week at Iowa Western Community College in Atlantic, for employees affected by the loss of jobs announced late last month at Plastic Professionals in Atlantic. Officials with Iowa WorkForce Development say job seekers are encouraged to attend the Job Fair, which runs from Noon until 3-p.m. May 18th.  Veterans will be given preference and will be allowed in from 11-a.m. until Noon only, prior to any other job seekers.

Tables will be available for you to complete applications, but if you have paper applications already in your hands, bring them with you. In addition to representatives from various companies on-hand to provide information and possibly conduct interviews, job seekers will have access to the IowaWORKS lab to complete online applications.

Businesses wishing to participate in the Job Fair and related advertising, need to register by Friday, May 12th. The registration fee for those businesses is $30, and includes a table along with two chairs. Booth displays are encouraged. Drinks and lunch will be provided to businesses participating in the event. Businesses that have questions or wish to register, may contact Liz Carlson at 712-352-3480, extension 45140.
